2023 College Fee Schedule

Family Discount

Discounts apply if two or more siblings are enrolled at the College.  Families will be invoiced at the full rate for the eldest child, with sibling discounts applied thereafter. The discount is 20% for the second child, 30% for the third and 50% for the fourth and subsequent child.  The discount applies to the Tuition portion of the fees only. 

Accounts

Accounts detailing fees and levies charged will be issued by the College quarterly and are payable within 14 days unless a direct debit is in place. As a member of the Assumption College community, each parent/guardian has a commitment to fulfill their financial obligations so that the College can continue to maintain a quality education for all students. Where fees remain unpaid and no special arrangements have been made, the student’s enrolment may be cancelled, and recovery action commenced.

Enrolment Application Fee

This fee is payable upon enrolment.  Payment of this fee does not mean automatic acceptance of enrolment.  This fee is non-refundable.

Textbook Hire Bond

The Textbook Hire Bond is to be paid when a student joins the College’s Textbook Hire Scheme at commencement of enrolment.  This bond is refundable upon departure from the College and all books and devices are returned in good condition.

Textbook Hire Levy

This fee is payable in advance at the end of the previous year or on a pro-rata basis at enrolment. This fee provides the cash flow necessary to the College to purchase textbooks for the following year.  In addition, the Government Book Allowance payment is retained by the College.  While we encourage your support and recommend the Textbook Hire Scheme, participation in the Scheme is voluntary.

iPad/Laptop Lease Agreement

For Year 8 – 9 students, a fee of $55 iPad per term and Year 7, 10 - 12 students, a $130 Laptop per term Hardware Levy is charged over the three-year life of the iPads/Laptops, after which time the iPad/Laptop becomes the property of the student/parents.  Students who arrive midyear will be charged a pro rata payment to align them to the payment plan.  Students whose enrolment terminate part way through this 3 year agreement, are able to purchase the device outright based on a pro rata cost basis.

IT Support & Resource Levy

This levy aims to offset the costs associated with printing consumables, and the licensing of a range of software packages e.g. internet connection costs, internet filtering licenses etc. This levy is charged to all students.

Administration Fee

This fee incorporates the College Activities Levy which aims at collecting monies for small activities which occur from time to time, including Arts Council performances, competitions, College diary, ID card, Buses, NAPLAN etc.

Capital Fund Levy

All families are required to contribute to the building and capital development programme at the College which meets repayments on College Loans and funds the refurbishment of College Facilities.

P&F Levy

The levy is to help provide better facilities for our students; all families contribute to the P&F Levy.  The levy eliminates the need for families to buy raffle tickets, organise fundraising events etc.

Concessions/Financial Assistance

Parents/Guardians are expected to pay all fees and levies charged by the College.  The College is aware, however, that from time to time some parents/guardians find themselves in financial difficulties.  Parents/Guardians in these circumstances are expected to contact the Principal or Business Manager to make alternative arrangements.  Following consultation with the Principal or Business Manager, every compassionate consideration will be given to families who genuinely cannot meet their fee commitments.

Enrolment Withdrawal

Should your circumstances change and your child/ren will not be returning to the College, we ask for the earliest possible notice.  Notification must be via completion of the Student Departure Form submitted to the College Office.  Failure to provide this notice promptly may result in additional term fees being charged.
